QUOTES

David Malukas, No. 4 Clarience Technologies Chevrolet: “We’ve had really good results every single time with the unfortunate exception of last season, we’ve always been there. I think with every race, you always want to try to go and get the best result and go for that win. But for me especially, I think WWT Raceway, I feel like I’ve been really close and I just want to get it done that one more step. Obviously it’s going to be very hard and we’re going to have to get everything perfect. As long as we can get consistent results, I just want consistency for the second half of the season and start securing some good points for the team.”

Santino Ferrucci, No. 14 Bommarito Automotive Group Chevrolet: “Having a clean weekend will be very important. Assuming we have everything kind of set the way we did last year, we should be a contender to win. So that’d be the expectation this year.”

Alexander Rossi, No. 20 Java House Chevrolet: “World Wide Technology Raceway is one of my favorite events on the calendar as the track does such a good job at putting on a show for the fans. It is going to be very exciting this year to go back to a proper night race on Sunday. I’ve had a lot of good experiences here in the past, so we should have a great opportunity for a strong result.”

Christian Rasmussen, No. 21 Splenda Chevrolet: “I’m really looking forward to my first NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at World Wide Technology Raceway this weekend. It’s a track where I’ve had success before in INDY NXT and I feel confident going in. The Splenda Chevrolet has been very strong the past couple of events and I’m excited to keep that going. Racing under the lights on primetime is going to be a special experience!”
